ENEMIES OF GOOD FICTION

Shortsightedn~ss of Book Publishers.
The ''Readers Of Manuscript
One great drawback to good work III lie

writers of both sexes to put their work before

fishers are ready to seize everything new and
eager to give the public the latest thoughts
This may be true of some publishers, but
many are as eager TO make hit and reduce
fancies or ideas to hard coin as any merchant

money. and striking title is often prized

WHAT THE SHAKERs BELIEVE ABOUT
DrsEAsE.-They have learned from many
yoars experience that nine-tenths of all the
diseases of mankind arise from imperfect
digestion of food; for this reason they have
spent years of labor in preparing the Sha-
ker Extract of Roots (Siegers Syrup and
il operates like charm in all cases of indi-
gestion.
1t is not what we eat that makes us
strong, but that which we digest. This is
the doctrine of the Mount Lebanon Shakers.
People who are weak and languid. tired
and feeble often wonder. The reason is
that the food eaten does not give strength
because it is not digested. The Shaker Ex-
thract of Roots (Siegrls Syrup will restore
the digestion to a healthy condition and
drive away the headache, the pains in the
side and back, the distress after eating and
make the sleep afford rest.

Local Cattlemen's Meeting.

The meeting of the local cattlemen
of Dallas was held at the American
National Bank yesterday afternoon
The object of the meeting was to in
augurate a plan to be adopted by the
Live Stock Convention, to be held here
on the 18th instant, by which Dallas
should be selected as the place where
an extensive relrigerating establish
ment for North Texas should be To-
CITED. The result of the meeting was
that plan should be devised and laid
before the citizens of Dallas, first TO
ascertain how much money they
would subscribe. etc, So as to get
tangible proposition before the con-
vention. The expression was that If
the people would aid In this matter
there would be no trouble IN getting
the convention to adopt Dallas as the
point.

First Baptist Church Special
Tax,
Tax.

The city council last night denied
the request of the pastor and ,deacons
of the First Baptist Church, asking to
be relieved from special taxation. City
Attorney johnson decided the matter
by delivering his opinion, which was
to the effect that it was against both
the letter and spirit of the law; State
and church matters, constitutionally,
were irrevocably separated, and that
the city had no power whatever to
discriminate in favor of church prop
erty; that it would be injustice to the
poor, as the church which made the
request might be composed of million
aires, and so far as the Bible was con-
cerned, he believed 1t was contrary to
the divine law, as that great book laid
down the law: "Render unto Cesar
the things that are Cpsar's." When
the vote was taken it was unanimous,
except Mr.. Brown, who declined TO
vote, against exempting the church
property from special taxation. = e
Now the question is, what is the
council going to do with the cases
where they have already exempted
similar property? OF course, they
will not continue to exempt such
property in the face of this action.
Why there was nothing said aboutthe
matter was, we presume, because the
aldermen were nearly paralyzed them
selves over their own actions, being
compelled to act as they did through
and by the advice of their city attor-
ney. Personally the majority, we
opine, were willing to grant this
favor, but in the face of the law and
the facts they could not act otherwise
without doing violence to the law. In
other instances where they have acted
adversely they did it out of chart
table motive, without the influence of
the cold facts of the law. The result
of the action of the city council last
night certainly settles the matter on
this subject, and hereafter all such
property must pay the special taxes.

Tranps.

The people of Dallas are annoyed
with tramps, they say. Making in
quiry, a reporter finds that If the city
has many of that specie in it they are
heightened tramps -tramps who scorn
to sleep inside the walls of lookup,
for the station keeper says there is not
over an average of two tramps night
who voluntarily ask for food and lodg-
ing. These cold nights, if there were
many in the city, would drive them to
shelter. Looking over the newspapers
of other cities similar in population
we find where there are applications
of this unfortunate class of people
that number from twenty to forty
nightly; and in larger cities even
double that number. So, compare
tivelv speaking, Dallas is quite free
from this annoyance, and If poor
fellow occasionally does ask for amor
sci to eat, give it to him. 1t won't
make a pauper of you, and it don't
encourage crime, but is an act of char
ity. AS rule a tramp is not vicious |;
he is not a thief; he prefers to beg
rather than steal. Men are unfortu7
nate. The cold weather shuts up the
avenues of the common laborers
source of livelihood, and If the wheels
of industry stop any length of time it
reduces him to want, and then it Is he
starts out wandering. -.

THE OLD CHAPEL

From sunllt elms. that gently cant,
The long and sleepy shadows tall
Across the wild-grown sod, aslant
The slowly mold'ring chapel wall.
The chapel long in MOSES dressed
The snail upon the crumbling sill -
Beneath the ewes the swallows nest
But prove that Gods is natures will.
Washed has the rain Its clapboards bare;
The window-pancs have dropped away;
Now, late the wild grapes cluster there,
And there the thistles bloom In May.
The pigeons coo from out the COOP
The squirrel heard but still unseen,-
The passing Of a schoolboy group
Can scarce awake the slumb'ring scene.
Within those walls what shouts have rung
In days when virtue virtue we'd;
How often there the choir has sung;
There echoed up the funeral tread.
But now its shattered walls unite
No more the village sires in prayer;
And yet, II ems. by day aud night
A sacred spirit fingers there.
Oh, nursing Of its happy prime,
With wrinkles deep'ning on thy brow,
Say, lie II not akin 10 crime
To see II thus forsaken nowi
Meath sixty summers sun and shower;
They say Its time Is almost through;
But still, o chapel, thou hast power
To warn the false and guard the true!

A FAMOUS ORATOR.
Recollections OF Sergeant s. Prentiss,
the Noted Southern Lawyer.

Recollections OF Sergeant 8. Prentiss,
the Noted Southern Lawyer.
A number of gray-haired citizens
have stood in front of the painted like
ness of Sergeant S. Prentiss, now on
exhibition in the counting-room of
The New Orleans Picayune, admired
its faithfulness to life, and recalled
scenes in the life of the gifted orator
and great lawyer.
Recently reporter saw standing be-
fore the picture of Prcntiss venerable
looking gentleman, and there was
something more than mere curiosity in
the eye of the looker-on. The specta-
tor was Hon. Nj. NJ. Cohen, the Oldest
and one of the most prominent practic-
ing lawyers at the New Orleans bar
do you remember much about
Prentiss?" asked the reporter.
MY intimate personal acquaintance
with the distinguished lawyer and
orator embraced but few years" re-
piled Mr.. Cohen. al rccollect that Mr..
Prentiss came to live in New Orleans
in 1916 and died in 1850. Before that,
in 1889, remember that Mr.. Prentiss
was invited to address our citizens at
the st. Charles theater. which was Sc
lected TO accommodate the ladies and
numerous admirers who were anxious
to hear him. In his eloquent address
on that occasion Mr.. Prentiss said:
The ladiesp God bless them! would
bind up my brightest and best thoughts
into bouquets and throw them at their
feet The ladies Of Poland threw their
Jewels into the famished treasury of
their bleeding country. Our grand
mothers. having no jewels, nodded
their pewter spoons into bullets to fight
the battles of the Revolution. This
speech was so greatly admired that in
order to again enjoy an eloquence so
rich and rare public dinner was given
to him. In 1874 II wing mass conven-
tionsvas held in New Orleans, which
was addressed by Mr.. Prentiss in his
usual brilliant style. This speech was
likewise so much admired that he had.
by request, to deliver another in the
Arcade. The members of the conven-
ton. in procession, marched to the St
Charles hotel TO pay their tribute OF
admiration to their great leader, Mr..
Clay. He made brief address and re-
tired. Mr. Prentss, who had been
perceived by the throng, was vocIf
erously called for. Mr.. Prentiss, point
ing to Mr.. Clay. only said: Fellow
citizens, when the eagle is soaring in
the sky the owls and the bats retire to
their holes. and he disappeared.
"A public meeting was held at
Clapp's church TO procure funds for n
statue of Franklin. An address was
delivered by Richard Henry Wilde, an
eloquent lrishman an able lawyer, and
the well-known author of the popular
piece. entitled MY Life is Like a Sum-
mer Rose Mr.. Prentiss was awaken
ed from nap at the st. Charles hotel,
and was carried TO the meeting, which
he addressed in rapturous strains OF ell
oquence. He concluded by saying that
specimens of art woald soon abound
where he now saw SO many lovely spe-
cimens Of nature.
